Based on the guy feedback, only one side of the knee assembly was crumbled. So the fix was to do a new part of the damaged side only. I don't remember well the details bc I don't have access to my computer files right now, I will have a look when I come back home
-
I didn't think the knees were a common issue. I already saw the fault: the assembly of one pin in the knee is reversed and this is making the knee to crumble from inside. I was missing a measurement to finalize the Shapeways design, measure which is difficult to obtain from a "ok" knee, but obviously easy once the knee is broken, I had a guy in MP for this matter but never got the answer. So if you want to, send me a pm and I would try to make the fix quick (well not now, but feasible in a week or so I believe)

That's one great fin angle Saburo! Jk apart, this head is nicely finished.
-
I was referring to your example below that you plan for the UN Air Force. But if don't plan to make this scheme anymore, I already like the green scheme very much
-
That looks great nzeod! I think the grey camo scheme will be my favorite of the two
-
MT, that's quite a nice job you have! It is like getting a pay from an hobby! My Vajra got some buffs tonight from a copper wire, it can now make a few pull ups on the lamp and it isn't scared anymore of Ozma! I am still waiting for new elastics to test and very happy with the result so far!
-
3D file so far
-
I am now officially giving up this project. I will put the Beatrice 3D file online at the warehouse. Still some refinements needed such as the wheels tires.
-
Yes the tail is made of a silicon band. I bought two in phosphorescent blue and green that I have to decide.
-
Hehe thanks all! I tried the nail polish on the articulation and this has tighten well the articulations. I have ordered a few elastics of different kinds to test. I would like the figure to sustain its own weight on its two front legs, but I feel it is a long way. At last resort I can pass a metal wire in the articulations but it doesn't feel like a permanent solution: the wire would brake after a few time
-
I admire those who knows how to work styrene, putty and such. I think that once you have tasted the precision and quality of 3D prints, you can't go back! The model is quiet tricky with holes and cavities, I didn't plan to make an income project out of this one
-
Lol, I am not finished yet! I will try to explode the model again to try save some plastic and reduce printing costs
-
Damn... The model is great but how can I justify a print cost of almost $100 USD? Does the sake of precision and scale fidelity justify this price?
-
I have been spending some time on this one lately, don't know yet where it will lead me to... So far a lot of floppiness until I receive a new elastic line to test if it can tighten the approx. 30 articulations of the figure! If you have any recommendation I will take it!

I think Jasonc is Mr K. !! http://www.macrossworld.com/mwf/index.php?showtopic=43491

That helmet is so kool
-
Great find! Anyway i am almost done with this model
-
Since I saw that Bandai 1:100 Britai I am dreaming of one in 1:60 scale !
-
Your most recent Macross or toy purchase! General thread.

That sucks, sorry to see a broken VF-0, but you can grab a spare on Shapeways. Here is the thread: http://www.macrossworld.com/mwf/?showtopic=36537 You should ask VF5SS if the replacement are ready or not -
and independent wheels suspensions (already implemented) !

1/48+fp's, 1/60+fp's, 1/72, 1/2k, 1/3k,1/100 and now 1/144

I was uncertain if that was on purpose or not, now I am a Sabulieber! -
I have been looking around Ebay/Amazon/Online shops for quiete some time now for a B1 Centauro Tank in 1:60 scale to simulate the "Beatrice" tanks seen in Macross Frontier. Unfortunately, there are 1:72 only, and considering the difference of size between the Centauro and the Beatrice, the Centauro in 1:72 would never make the illusion for a Beatrice. Then, I decided to begin with a Centauro 3D model in 1:1 scale made by Empy on the warehouse and from there, adapting the shapes to fit a Beatrice. Well I soon realized that it would be much easier to draw the Beatrice from scratch! Today, I can share this work, still in progress though. The Beatrice will feature a few artculations/movements like: turrel rotation, canon rise, hatchs opening, 8 spinning wheels and 2 front wheels being directional and rear door openning. The model has been so far realised for 1:60 scale, but should be ok for 1:72 scale also. A few pictures to compare the "Beatrice" line-art version vs the Centauro.

Really nice shots Saburo, as always! But I can't help notice the wrong rear fins angle in battroid mode... Additionnally, in gerwalk, it seems to me that they are supposed to have the same angle as in battroid mode.
-
Knowing that this deck is for the 1:72 F14, I hacked the F14 vs VF-0 size chart. In fact the VF-0 is in between the F14 in 1:60 and 1:72, so I think that it would be a good fit.
-
I have somewhere a folder with a few pictures of the Frameout addons for the VF-1. I can leave you an email with everything zipped, let me know.
